Iran has developed a powerful chemical weapon based on synthetic opioids that can render entire units of soldiers helpless within minutes.

The US and its allies have warned for years that Iran is developing pharmaceutical-based weapons in breach of the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention. A recent U.S. State Department report revealed that Iran’s Chemistry Department at Imam Hossein University attempted to acquire large quantities of medetomidine, a veterinary sedative, from Chinese suppliers in 2014. The quantity sought – enough for over 10,000 doses – far exceeded any legitimate research needs.

Further confirmation came in September 2023 when Iranian anti-government hackers leaked documents exposing details of an Iranian military university’s development of medetomidine-based grenades, according to the State Department.

Security experts warn that these pharmaceutical-based agents (PBAs) represent a new category of threat, distinct from traditional chemical weapons. When deployed, PBAs target the central nervous system, rapidly rendering victims unconscious.

Of particular concern is the potential distribution of these weapons to Iran’s terror proxies. Although Israel’s military campaigns in Lebanon have dealt serious blows to Hezbollah and its massive missile stockpile, PBAs remain a viable threat as they can be easily incorporated into hand grenades and mortar shells – weapons Hezbollah still possesses in large quantities.

“Maybe you just use them to incapacitate the border guards and reach the now unprotected civilians,” Matthew Levitt, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute, tells Business Insider. “Or, you actually target and incapacitate the soldiers so you can kidnap or capture them.”

“At a time of growing regional instability in the Middle East, largely the result of the militancy of Iranian proxies, the threats posed by Iran’s weaponized PBA program can no longer be overlooked,” says Levitt.

Levying sanctions on Iran’s import of PBAs is also extremely difficult because they overlap with products used for legitimate medical purposes.

The Islamic Republic should know better than anyone the horrific toll of chemical weapons, having suffered over a million casualties from Iraqi nerve gas and mustard gas attacks during the Iran-Iraq war. Yet Tehran has shown no hesitation in deploying these weapons themselves – first using mustard gas against Iraqi forces in 1987, then employing PBAs against Syrian rebels during their civil war, and most recently through their Iraqi militias who reportedly used chemical agents to suppress civilian protesters in 2019.

This over hyping is not good for Iran.

Argue with the number of damages they have recorded in cold war

Na dem dey use these tinz pass na

The reason to invade Iran by US is loading ....

If they try it then the end of Iran has come. Their country will become an experiment ground for testing weapons of mass destruction

Hmmmmm!

IRGC & the rest of the Iranian military is overrated.
See how Israel easily took out their air defense systems.
They know that the last Israeli air campaign was strategic and it boxed them into a tight corner.
If the send another barrage of ballistic missiles & drones against Israel, @ least 90% to 94% will be intercepted.... Afterwards,the Israeli retaliation will be much more destructive because there won't be air defenses in Iran.
The Ayatollahs should just beat it.

the fact Iran actually has chemical weapons is the sole reasons the USA have not invaded it.

They invaded Iraq in pursuit of sadam Hussein, claiming he has toes of CW, in the end no single CW was found, however they plunder through the entire country, stealing hundreds of tones of gold bars, jewelry, oil etc.. leaving the country forever destabilized.


US only invade countries without chemical weapons, go and verify it.

I do not understand why the united state can research, develop and store chemical weapons but Iran and others can't

US can illegally invade other countries, use chemical weapons in Vietnam and Kosovo but, when Iran uses it, it becomes a problem?

But why is seun allowing propaganda of Zionists on nairaland? Why is Jewish propaganda posting news here?

Jewishbreakingnews.com ?

What the H is this?

Look how the thing even reads like a secondary school accusation.

GIBBERISH!

Iranophobia.

Israel, the shitty little cult state is doing everything to make US help it fight its albatross, Iran.

The United States should remember what happened to them in 1979 in the hands of Iran.


Iran is not Iraq.

All for what

Now, this is serious.
